Unlike the 50s when it started, the area around Kennedy Space Center is highly populated. I can't imagine what it would be like there with weekly (if not more) Starship flights, just based on noise alone. The logistics, air and ground and ocean disruptions are off-the-chart. Limited flights from there make sense, but they need a more isolated site for a schedule like this.

The design philosophy behind #Raptor 3 heavily emphasizes minimalism and integration. The result is an engine that is 36% lighter than Raptor 1 and 7% lighter than Raptor 2, while delivering significantly more thrust 🦾 https://cosmoscience.in/raptor-rocket-engines-evolution-of-spacexs-rocket-propulsion/

During a routine ambient-pressure test, the Liquid Oxygen Tank ruptured. Based on photos of the damage, it appears that a COPV at the bottom of one of the larger chines might have exploded 💥 during the pressure test. Until we hear more directly from #SpaceX, it is only speculation at this point what caused the rupture https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2025/11/booster-18-anomaly-proof-testing/
